2006..out with the Old and in with the New
I wont pretend to be one of those people who are all about New Year's resolutions, because I honestly just quit making them b/c I never kept them. Every year at Dallas Winter Conference, because it's so close to the beginning of the new year, I do begin to reflect on the previous year, the good, the bad, and all that the Lord taught me, and mistakes that I made, and lessons learned, and all of the many blessings in between. I enjoy reading my journal from the last year, its funny to see what a difference a year...a month...a day makes somtimes. I enjoy more getting a new journal which I recently purchased right before DWC. There is something to be said for starting fresh. While the last year definitely had its downfalls, it also holds everything from the most incredible, life-changing Summer of my life, and what the Lord has taught me since. Its fun to reflect and go back to those times, but other moments in that journal I was thrilled to put away forever. Although I wouldnt change anything about 2005 b/c it brought me to where I am now.One new thing Ive begun this semester is readin My Utmost For His Highest everyday. It has verses and excerpts from Oswald Chambers for each day of the year. It's still very early January and I have already been blown away by reading it on a certain day, and finding that the subject of that day falls perfectly inline with what I am going through that day! My roomate Corrie says this will happen often with this book, shes already read through it all. I'm excited not only about my new literary endevours, which also include a fictional/christian romance novel called, Inklings....and a few other books I picked up over the break. I also have a new roomate this semester Miss Abby Lynn Hendricksen, we've known each other since high school and shes a wonderful addition to the apartment. I wont bore you with other goals/dreams/aspirations I have for the semester, but I also wont break down and call them New Years Resolutions, because I want to have a chance at actually following through with them!Hahahaha
